"He's not a No.9". Benzema names Mbappe's main problem at Real Madrid

Kylian Mbappe’s start at Real Madrid has been less than ideal, drawing substantial criticism that goes beyond just his goal-scoring record. His compatriot, Karim Benzema, attempted to shed light on what might be hindering Mbappe’s performance.

Details: According to the former Real Madrid striker, Mbappe is not particularly comfortable playing as a central forward.

“For me, Mbappé is not a 9. He’s a left winger. But the problem is that at left wing, there’s Vinicius Jr who’s the best in the world”, Benzema said.

It was reported yesterday that some Real Madrid players are dissatisfied with Mbappe’s defensive work rate.

In his 14 appearances for Real Madrid across all competitions, Mbappe has tallied eight goals and two assists.

Reminder: In their last match, Real Madrid suffered a 0-4 defeat to Barcelona, with Mbappe caught offside six times.

Today, on November 5, Real Madrid will face AC Milan at home in the fourth round of the UEFA Champions League.
